BALTIMORE - A total of eight past, present and future Terps will represent the Maryland women’s lacrosse program at the U.S. women's national team tryout next weekend at Georgetown University in Washington D.C.

Current Terrapins and members of the 2014 national championship-winning squad tagged to the 88-player list include Tewaaraton winner Taylor Cummings and All-Americans Kelly McPartland, Megan Douty and Alice Mercer. Each player is vying for a shot at their first World Cup in 2017 in Surrey, England.

Former Terps Caitlyn McFadden and Katie Schwarzmann suited up for Team USA as it captured the gold medal at the 2013 World Cup. McFadden – who is currently an assistant coach for Maryland - also played on the world champion team in 2009. Maryland Director of Operations and former All-American attacker Alex Aust will also try out for the USA squad.

Maryland signee Megan Whittle is the lone player without at least one year of college experience selected for the tryout.

After the three-day tryout June 13-15, approximately 36-40 players will be selected to the 2014-15 U.S. Women’s National Team, which will train as part of the lead-up to the 2017 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) Women’s World Cup. Ultimately, 18 players will represent the U.S. as the team goes for a third consecutive and eighth overall world title.
